“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.â€
=Dalai Lama=
The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything; now, is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the sharpest pleasures arise?
=Marquis de Sade=
Waterlilly
My whole life is mine,
but whoever says so will deprive me,
for it is infinite.
The ripple of water,
the shade of the sky are mine;
it is still the same, my life.
No desire opens me;
I am full, I never close myself with refusal
in the rhythm of my daily soul
I do not desire
I am moved;
by being moved I exert my empire,
making the dreams of night real:
into my body at the bottom of the water
I attract the beyonds of mirrors.
=Rainer Maria Rilke=
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!â€
